What to Expect When You Bring Your Vehicle in for Transmission Repair

If you're experiencing transmission problems, it's normal to feel a little unsure about what happens next. At Escalon Transmission, we aim to make the transmission repair process as smooth and transparent as possible—from the moment you walk through our doors to the time you drive away with a reliable vehicle.

Step 1: Diagnostic Testing & Inspection

We begin with a diagnostic inspection. This includes a test drive, visual inspection and a computer scan to check for transmission-related error codes. We want to understand exactly what’s going on before making any recommendations.

Step 2: Honest Diagnosis and Repair Options

Once we’ve identified the issue, we’ll explain what’s causing the symptoms and discuss your best options. If the problem is minor—like a fluid leak or a faulty solenoid—a basic repair might be all you need. However, if your transmission has significant internal damage, we may recommend a complete transmission rebuild as a better long-term solution.

Step 3: Transmission Rebuild (If Needed)

A full custom transmission rebuild involves removing and disassembling the transmission, cleaning every component, replacing all worn or damaged parts (like clutches, seals, and bands), and then reassembling and reinstalling the unit to like-new condition. This is our specialty service—and it’s a long-term solution built to last. This is why we back it with our 3 Year, 100,000 Mile Warranty program.

Step 4: Final Testing and Peace of Mind

After the repair or rebuild, we conduct rigorous testing to ensure everything is functioning properly. When you pick up your vehicle, you’ll know it’s been restored with precision and care.
If you’re having shifting issues, fluid leaks or any signs of trouble, don’t wait. Bring your vehicle to Escalon Transmission for expert service and dependable solutions—backed by years of experience and a reputation for quality work. Call us today at (209) 838-0113 or request an appointment online.
